We're going to run our own classes over Gotomeeting and/or Skype, and I'll probably promote a few EFL E-books as I learned how from working for a successful poker E-book publisher. If you do the promotion well, it can give an early boost to traffic to the site. There are definitely a few differences in the EFL vs. the poker E-book space though.
Next would be selling consumer leads to companies that sell EFL courses.
What's the difference between this and being an affiliate? I'm not sure exactly what this means.
After that would be selling a course as an affiliate. And last would be just having related advertising (adsense, etc...) on your sites.
What's one of the keywords you're targeting? I'll run a SERP IQ report on it and post it here and we (the forum) can discuss it.
Thanks. I'm targeting the keyword "learn business English." Actually, I'm using the method of picking some low traffic keywords, some of which we have no shot at ranking for in the early periods, and then sprinkling LSI keywords and related long tails throughout the text to try and pick up traffic from related long tails. I picked this method up from the keyword academy and x-factor. If there are better methods for this project though, I'm open to those though.
Right now, I'm in Manila, and I see a ton of online English training centers (skype/webex/etc.) serving corporate clients. A bunch of them are terribly run, but make a lot of money. They have good sales teams in their target countries, but horrible products and with the right sales teams can make multiple six figures a month in profit. I'm trying to figure out if one can achieve their success promoting primarily online, or if the only way to do it is to pitch to big companies in the target countries.
I'm not coming here to say "I want to make a site making six figures a month in profit;" that would be unreasonable. Rather, I just want to get into an area with enough growth and size that a decent number of players see this.
